Epic Games, an American video game development company, can be praised for bringing one of the most drastic video game development engines into existence, and if history repeats itself, the latest version of the Unreal Engine known as Unreal Engine 4 embodies the future of video game development. The number of triple A, visually advanced titles that utilize the power of Unreal Engine 4 is not significantly big, but it looks like the developers still prefer this tech over all the other.

Unreal Engine 4 is one of the top video game development engines that are currently being utilized in development of several upcoming next-gen games. The fourth iteration of Epic’s tech has a lot of potential and this recent voting proves it. Leaving behind some top-notch game engines such as Unity 5 and CryEngine, Unreal Engine 4 has won the title of number one engine in the Develop 100: The Tech List, which was voted on by more than 45 industry experts, technology officers and indie developers.

Various engines were included on the list of Develop 100, which grades the best game-making technology available in the market.
